CHAMBER OF SHIPPING OF AMERICA 1730 RHODE ISLAND AVE., NW, SUITE 702 WASHINGTON, DC 20036 PRESS RELEASE For Release June 16, 2016 NEW ORLEANS, LA…. The U.S. maritime industry publicly recognized the merchant mariners responsible for safe ship operations at the Annual Safety Awards Luncheon held at the Hilton Riverside Hotel on June 8, 2016. Nearly Two Hundred (200) people, representing 80 companies, attended the annual industry-sponsored event. The Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) announces the results of the 2015 Jones F. Devlin Awards. These awards are given to the men and women manning vessels that have operated for at least two years without a seafarer involved in a lost-time injury. Kathy Metcalf, CSA President said: “We have been holding these annual award ceremonies since 1958. This was the Fifty-eighth Anniversary of the program. For that initial year, we honored six vessels having a total of twelve years operation with no lost-time incidents. This year, awards were conferred on 1522 vessels that operated 10,084 years without a lost-time incident. This extraordinary record is directly attributable to the professionalism of our seafarers and the dedication of shore-based company personnel to safe operation. These mariners are the front line in ensuring the safe and environmentally responsible operation of the vessels on which they serve and CSA extends its congratulations to these mariners and their shore-based partners for a job well done.” Recipients of the 2015 Jones F.
